As a child, when we enter school for the very first time, it is a new adventure. Our parents drop us off and some parents linger "How will he do?", some parents blow a kiss "She will be just fine!" and some parents begin the waiting game "What time can I go and pick them up?". Regardless of what the parent may think, all parents initial thoughts are that "We have left our children in the hands of others and our children will be fine."

As a candidate for NCISD Board of Trustees and a parent, I truly believe that our children are fine. I just want to be able to ensure that for the next 12 years not only will they be fine, but they will have opportunities to be successful.
